Chapter 1: Rebirth of Plum Blossom Dock

In the cold wind, the plum blossoms on both sides of the Meixi River are in full bloom. It's like a fairyland. A gust of wind blows, and the falling flowers are colorful, and they are very beautiful.

A weak-crowned young man sits on a boulder by the river. Dressed in a green shirt, holding a folding fan, and stepping on seven-star calfskin boots, it is spotless. The white jade-like thumb wears an emerald green wrench, like a lake of verdant autumn water. Long hair is tied into a ponytail and flutters in the wind. The skin is snow-white and condensed like mutton fat, the waist is thin and the shoulders are broad, and the arms are long-legged. With a dusty temperament.

A slightly long melon seed face on the swan-like long neck, two heroic sword eyebrows into the sideburns, two narrow Danfeng eyes under the eyebrows, one eye is large and spirited, the other eye is slightly squinted, occasionally opened, but there is a breathtaking look. The nose is like a jade pillar, straight and straight, and the corners of his mouth are a little pursed, as if with disdain and ridicule for this world.

Wang Anshi has a poem praising Zhang Liang when he was a teenager, "Staying in the marquis is as beautiful as a woman, and the fifth prime minister Han Han entered Qin". Describe the young Zhang Liang's physique and appearance as handsome and good, better than a beautiful young woman and girl. At this moment, the young man on the bluestone is not far behind.

At this time, there was a helpless look on the handsome face, with a wry smile. Looking at the body of his fifteen-year-old little child, there is the soul of a forty-year-old uncle living in his heart, which is really speechless to the sky. I have always been more repulsive to feminine handsomeness, but with my life experience in the mountains and the sea, I deeply know that this kind of feminine beauty is indeed the favorite of the vast majority of girls and young women in the country of flowers.

The ladies and ladies of the West appreciate the muscular men of David, look at the works of Michelangelo and other masters in the Renaissance, the bodybuilder, masculine, naked body, knotted muscles, at first sight, immediately make the wives and ladies of the West hormones soar, excited and swaying, and can't talk nonsense themselves. But in the country of planting flowers, David has become David, and he has become a stinky and shameless black charcoal captain Chi Gong. You don't see, whether it is Zhang Sheng in the West Chamber or the Ximen official in the Water Margin, who is favored by women, it is not a white-faced Xiaosheng. He asked different female friends back then, and the most common comment on muscular men was "disgusting".

A month ago, Li Jing was still teaching at a third-rate industrial university, and now he is evaluating professional titles in the university, and he must have the experience of studying abroad in an internationally renowned university for promotion. Li Jing really has no advantage in staying in school to teach after graduating from a domestic university, and several other lecturers in the department are either Stanford or Pennsylvania, although Li Jing is the old qualification with the most published papers, the oldest qualifications, and the most academic achievements in the department, although his works are equal to his body, but he is useless, and he is still stumbling in the position of lecturer in his forties.

This time, there were a few more associate professor places in the school, and Li Jing thought it was his turn, but in the end, Sun Shan fell into disappointment, because Professor Ping and the head of the department "Berkeley, California" had a fierce quarrel, greeted his female friend and slammed the door angrily. Unexpectedly, when he woke up one night, he actually became the little young master of the Li family in Meihuawu, this little young master and Li Jing have the same phone, also called Li Jing.

Li Jing thought with a wry smile that he was angry because he couldn't get a job title, and he was too famous for the Gramophone, which can be regarded as a little after-dinner joke for the Berkeleys in California. Li Jing's hometown is a native of Cangzhou, Hebei, and his ancestral Bajiquan family is a dignified Hebei Han. I didn't expect this to be good, but it became a reborn into a little fresh meat. Li Jing also experienced several relationships when he was young, some of them were fateless, some were unladylike, and he was still alone in his forties in the blink of an eye. But it's okay, but it's not a concern.

If you can do it all over again, it's okay to change to a completely unfamiliar environment.

Meizhou is a place with a long history and a flourishing literary style. As early as in the first year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (483), Chengxiang County was established in Haiyang County. In the third year of the Southern Han Dynasty (945), that is, in the second year of the Later Jin Dynasty, Chengxiang was promoted to Jingzhou.

In the Song Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were more funny, and they couldn't get along with the name Meizhou, and they had to change it if they had anything to do. In the fourth year of Song Kaibao (971), because of the avoidance of Zhao Jing, the grandfather of Song Taizu, "Jingzhou" was changed to "Meizhou", and the name of "Meizhou" began here. In the sixth year of Song Xining (1073), Meizhou was abolished again, and Chengxiang County was subordinate to Chaozhou; In the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082), Meizhou was replaced, and it was still Licheng Township County, which belonged to Guangnan East Road; This is not over, in the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), Meizhou was abolished and Chengxiang County was restored to Chaozhou; In the fourteenth year of Shaoxing (1144), Meizhou was replaced, and Chengxiang County was still Licheng, which belonged to Guangnan East Road.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols inherited the bad taste of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, and did not change their names, but crossed their belongings. In the sixteenth year of Yuan to Yuan (1279), Meizhou was changed to "Meizhou Road" and placed in the governor's office; To the twenty-third year of the Yuan Dynasty, it was restored to Meizhou, which belonged to Jiangxi and other places in the province of Guangdong Province to proclaim the consolation; In the first year of Yuanzhen (1295), it belonged to Chaozhou Road; In the fifth year of Yanyou (1318), he was directly subordinate to the Guangdong Provincial Propaganda Mission.

The Mongolians sang that I had a pact with the steppe, and in the blink of an eye I went back to the steppe to herd sheep. The Zhu family sat in the Jinluan Palace, the new court was dilapidated and new, in the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1369), Meizhou was abolished as Chengxiang County, and it was subordinate to Chaozhou Prefecture. This was the beginning of the establishment of Meizhou Prefecture. The next reply to the ancient name of Meizhou will have to wait until the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and this time it has finally not been changed and has been used until now.

The Li family is a local wang family, the He family lives in Meizhou, there are a lot of Jinshi people in the past dynasties, Meihuawu Town belongs to the side branch, but it is the prosperity of the descendants, and the village has gradually gathered into a town for hundreds of years. Li Jing's home is the long house of the Li family branch of Meihuawu. The town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is at the bend of Meixi, forms a small peninsula, Meixi is on three sides, the north is the mountain, a bluestone road in the middle of the town is the main commercial street, the northernmost part, a large large mansion built by the mountain is the old house of Li Jing's family.

Meixi is the Meijiang River of later generations. The ancient name of the upstream trunk of the Hanjiang River, the second largest water system in Guangdong, the Hanjiang River is named after the Hanyu exile place, with a basin area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, occupying a large mountainous area at the junction of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and finally entering the sea in Chaozhou.

The Hanjiang River basin covers a vast area, about the same size as Taiwan, and is mostly mountainous, claiming that the mountainous area accounts for ninety percent of six, leaving only two parts of water and two points of plains. The tributaries of the upper reaches of the Hanjiang River are as dense as a spider web, there are nearly 100 large and small rivers flowing in, the water is deep and the river is wide and the ships are weaving, most of the villages and towns are settled at the water's edge, the local climate is hot in summer, and it will not be lower than 10 degrees Celsius in modern winter. Although the end of the Ming Dynasty was in the Xiaoice period, the temperature dropped sharply, and there were ice records in Taihu Lake, but mountains such as the Wuyi Mountains blocked the cold air flow in the north, and there was no ice record. In addition to the torrential rain in one or two months during the flood season, the Hanjiang River is turbulent and difficult to sail, but the waterways are developed in all seasons.

It is said that God closed the door but opened a window, although the Hanjiang River basin is all hillside land, can not grow many crops, but this area, but there are rich mineral deposits, modern exploration out, has been proved coal, iron, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, silver, antimony, rare earth, limestone, granite, marble and other 48 kinds, more than 530 deposits. Among them, the coal reserves are 270 million tons, accounting for the second place in Guangdong Province, and the manganese and iron reserves account for 20 percent and 30 percent of the province respectively.

The copper of Meixian, the limestone of Jiaoling, the porcelain clay of Dapu, the coal of Xingning, and the iron of Pingyuan are quite prestigious for their rich reserves and high grade. Hundreds of millions of tons of high-quality anthracite and iron ore everywhere, although they are all medium-sized deposits, but the taste is astonishing, generally more than 45 percent. Copper ore is also widely distributed. In particular, there are hundreds of millions of tons of kaolin, and the quality is not inferior to Jingdezhen. The local blue and white porcelain has a history of hundreds of years and is exported to 13 provinces and overseas.

Because of the lack of land, local people set up factories and mines, and the operation of maritime trade has become the mainstream, and the thinking is far more open than that of the mainland. In addition, the waterway here can enter the sea, leading to all parts of Nanyang in the north, the transportation is developed, and at the same time, it is located in the inland mountains, and it is not harassed by the bandits, and there is no trouble of the Japanese bandits, which is really a blessed land.
